Title: Vehicule hybride
Inventor: IBARAKI SHIGERU
IPC: B60L50/16
Filed: 2001-10-05
Abstract: L'invention concerne un véhicule hybride à moteur à combustion interne (1) et source de traction, et un moteur générateur (2) à dispositif à cycle de Rankine (9) pour la récupération de l'énergie thermique des gaz d'échappement. Le produit du dispositif à cycle de Rankine (9) est injecté dans une transmission (4), contribuant à la force de traction du moteur à combustion interne (1) ou converti en puissance électrique pour le chargement de batterie (8). L'énergie thermique des gaz d'échappement est récupérée par le dispositif à cycle de Rankine (9) tandis que le véhicule accélère et atteint sa vitesse de croisière, et l'énergie cinétique d'un corps est récupérée sous forme de puissance de régénération du moteur générateur (2) tandis que le véhicule décélère, ce qui permet d'assurer l'économie d'énergie du moteur à combustion interne (1). Ainsi, quel que soit le stade de fonctionnement auquel parvient le véhicule, il est possible d'optimiser l'efficacité de récupération d'énergie pour assurer l'économie de carburant du moteur à combustion interne.

Title: Congestion management in computer networks
Inventor: BARKER KENNETH JAMES
IPC: H04L12/56
Filed: 2002-01-17
Abstract: The decision to discard or forward a packet is made by a flow control mechanism, upstream from the forwarding engine in the node of a communication network. The forwarding engine includes a switch with mechanism to detect congestion in the switch and return a binary signal B indicating congestion or no congestion. The flow control mechanism uses B and other network related information to generate a probability transmission table against which received packets are tested to determine proactively whether a packet is to be discarded or forwarded.

Patent CA-2450153-A1 (CA)
Inventor: TURGEON JIMMY
IPC: A63C5/00
Filed: 2003-11-19
Abstract: The snow ski is pivotally attached to a snowmobile in order for it to be pivotable about its longitudinal, steering and transversal axes that intersect each other. The ski has a ski sole from which integrally project first and second elongated front lateral keels and an elongated rear central keel. Moreover, rear ski sole depressions are made in the ski sole, at the vicinity of the rear keel. When the ski is in a straight-line position for allowing the snowmobil e to move forward in a straight line, it adopts a fiat ground-engaging position in which all three keels rest on the ground surface. When the ski is in a turn-carving position for allowing the snowmobile to move forward while turning in a desired direction, the ski is tilted sidewardly with only the central keel and a selected one of the first and second lateral keels resting on the ground, to carve the ground surface in order for the ski to exhibit a self steering behavior with enhanced gripping effect. When the ski is in this turn-carving position, the ski sole may be prevented from engaging the ground due to the rear ground clearance of the ski sole, even though the ski may become tilted abou t its longitudinal, steering and transversal axes.

Patent CA-2459732-A1 (CA)
Inventor: GRINDSTAFF GENE ARTHUR
IPC: G06V10/20
Filed: 2002-09-06
Abstract: A method for viewing a first object that is obstructed by a second object. In such a method, the first object has a contrasting color to the second object and the second object is constructed from a material that allows visible light to pass therethrough. The amount of visible light that passes through the second object is not enough such that the first object is visible to the human eye. The method involves taking a digital image of the first and second object using a visible light sensor, such as a CCD camera sensor. The digital image data that is received into a computer system contains both first object data and second object data. It should be understood that the first object data and the second object data include color information. The amount of contrast between the first and the second object should be approximately 10% of the total scale such that on a 256 color scale the difference is approximately 25 levels. The computer system substantially filters out the second object data and then the values associated with the first object data are increased until the data is visibly displayable.
